Sodium mercaptoundecahydro-closo-dodecaborate (BSH) is being investigated clinically for BNCT. We examined the biodistribution of BSH and BPA administered jointly in different proportions in the hamster cheek pouch oral cancer model. The 3 assayed protocols were non-toxic, and showed preferential tumor boron uptake versus precancerous and normal tissue and therapeutic tumor boron concentration values (70-85ppm). All 3 protocols warrant assessment in BNCT studies to contribute to the knowledge of (BSH+BPA)-BNCT radiobiology for head and neck cancer and optimize therapeutic efficacy.

Severe oral mucositis is a major cause of a low quality of life in patients; however, the therapeutic effect of traditional treatments is insufficient. Therefore, we designed a carbopol gel based on rebamipide nanocrystals (REB NCs) and gum arabic (GA-REB@NP), and investigated its efficacy in accelerating wound healing in a hamster model of oral mucositis. REB NCs were prepared by bead milling, and GA- REB@NP were prepared by incorporating REB NCs into a carbopol gel.

Objectives: To explore and analyze the feasibility of using indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared fluorescence (NIF) imaging technology for the early diagnosis of oral potential malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods: 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene in acetone solution was used to induce various pathological models of buccal mucosal lesions (mild/moderate dysplasia, severe dysplasia, squamous cell carcinoma) in golden hamster. ICG-NIF was conducted for the quantitative analysis of the fluorescence signal of lesion tissue, and evaluation of the diagnostic and discriminative capabilities of the ICG-NIF technology for mucosal lesions in various pathological states.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis leads to ulcers that cause severe pain, which is a substantial burden on patients. Equisetum arvense extract (EA) is a crude drug that promotes wound healing of mucous membranes caused by perineal incision during childbirth and alleviates pain. Here, we elucidated the effects of EA on wound healing and pain in a stomatitis hamster model.

Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a tumor-selective particle radiotherapy that combines preferential boron accumulation in tumors and neutron irradiation. Based on previous studies in tumor-bearing mice, this study evaluated the biodistribution of the sodium salt of cobaltabis(dicarbollide) (Na[3,3'-Co(CBH)], abbreviated as Na[-COSAN]) in the hamster cheek pouch oral cancer model and the Na[-COSAN]/BNCT therapeutic effect on tumors and induced radiotoxicity. The synthesis and comprehensive characterization of B-enriched trimethylammonium salt of -[7,8-CBH]-carborane, along with the cesium and sodium salts of [-COSAN] cobaltabis(dicarbollide) are reported here for the first time.

Article Synopsis
- South Asia and Southeast Asia have a high burden of oral cancer, prompting a study to analyze research trends in these regions.
- The study retrieved 5,660 articles on oral cancer from 19 countries, with India leading in South Asia and Malaysia in Southeast Asia.
- Key risk factors identified include tobacco, alcohol, and areca nut, highlighting the need for improved public awareness and policy development to combat oral cancer in low- and middle-income countries.
